Why You Should Submit

Because we at Minerva Rising believe in your wisdom and your creativity.

Because we are committed to the power of women’s voices and we want to make those voices heard.

Because we value your work. We pay writers $50 per fiction or nonfiction piece and $35 per poem that we select for publication.

Because don’t hide your words under a barrel, that’s why!

Our upcoming themed issues are listed below. The link beside each issue’s Reading Period dates will take you to the Minerva Rising Submittal page. There you can read all sorts of rules and stipulations about reading fees (they’re kind of like crunches and flossing – hate to do ‘em. Gotta do ‘em.), simultaneous submissions (no problem), and where to put your name (not in the body of your work, please ladies).

Ideal submissions encompass the theme of the current issue in all its connotations and interpretations. Send us work that represents the idea of Minerva in a way that moves our soul and challenges our thinking.

ISSUE #6 – FOOD

rolls

Reading Period February 15 – April 15, 2014“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.” – M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating: 50th Anniversary EditionSubmit Now!
